One Background Worker Thread and Multiple Progress Bars?

Well, you are showing a fake progress bar... If that is what you want, then this general approach is ok. Here are two improvements.

Ok, after many hours of searching I found this LINK that enabled me to figure out what I was doing wrong. Basically, what I was doing was running the progress bar on a BackgroundWorker Thread while still running the process on the main UI Thread. I realized that this is not what I should be doing so I am now running everything on the BackgroundWorker thread.

Additionally, you will see in my code example, I had a requirement to maintain two separate Progress bars and update a richtext box with status information. I was able to this functionality rather easily. Here is my final solution.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
